Riverside(i)
17 One of the crowd answered, "Teacher, I have brought my son to you. He has a dumb spirit,
18 and whenever it attacks him it convulses him and he foams at the mouth and grinds his teeth. He is wasting away. I asked your disciples to cast it out, but they had not the power."
19 Jesus answered, "O faithless generation! how long must I be with you? How long must I bear with you? Bring him to me."
20 They brought him to him. As soon as the spirit saw Jesus, he convulsed the boy so that he fell on the ground and rolled about, foaming at the mouth.
21 Jesus asked the father, "How long is it since this came on him?" He said, "From early childhood.
22 Often it has thrown him into the fire or into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have pity on us and help us."
